TEAM

Last year, Mercer University Student Government President Joey Wozniak established the first Division 1 championship in voter participation by partnering with the Southern Conference to found the SoCon Votes initiative among the ten Southern Conference member campuses. Now, Joey has joined FCL as a consultant to explore how to take this idea to scale across the country.
